Call of the Wilde


"The universe is composed of a symphony of alternating currents with the harmonies played on a vast range of octaves. To explore the whole range of electrical vibration will bring man closer to an understanding of the cosmic symphony." ~ Nikola Tesla - scientific genius and true visionary (1856-1943)
